Background
Johnathan L. Summers, proceeding without counsel, appealed from the Circuit Court for Duval County in two underlying criminal cases. Circuit Judge London Mahogany Kite entered the ruling under review.
The Fifth District identified the matter as a “3.800 Appeal,” referring to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800. The opinion does not describe Summers’s convictions, sentence, arguments, or the trial court’s reasoning.
The Court’s Holding
The Fifth District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s ruling.
The court issued a per curiam affirmance consisting only of the word “AFFIRMED.” It provided no legal analysis or explanation for the disposition.
Key Takeaways
- The Fifth District affirmed the circuit court’s ruling in Summers’s Rule 3.800 proceeding.
- Judges Wallis, Boatwright, and Kilbane comprised the participating panel.
- The opinion does not disclose the issues raised or establish an articulated rule of law.
Why It Matters
The decision leaves the circuit court’s ruling in place. Because the appellate court supplied no reasoning, the opinion offers no explanation of how Rule 3.800 applied to Summers’s case.
